It looks like a late short seat.

Platinum mesh gold 65/66 possibly to 67 3/4 middle but someone cut the armrest bar off. I could be wrong tho.

From the FAQ... Middle Seats thread...

'52?-'66 the armrest bar is attatched at two points.
plastic/rubber grab bar which is thick and has plastic ends '64-'67

So, apparently you have a '64-'66 seat with the arm cut off.

This is my assessment as well.

Note the seat frame is the same for 66-down, if someone swapped the top grab handles out for earlier ones.
